I have a problem believing that Obote actually instructed Acholi’s to rape
Luwero women, that looks to me as a John Ogole and Tito Okello instruction, and
I stand to be very corrected. One can only wish that at the commission of
inquiry into The Luwero and West Nile atrocities, a UNLA member as Muto Ono who
is a member of this forum, will stand and answer to such a question for
clarification. We need a public inquiry on Luwero and West Nile for we have so
many unanswered questions yet Acholi’s are simply not talking.
A blanket court order just might get us pass that hurdle.
